August 2015 Audiobook Thread: Statistics, Purchases and Reads

On the first day of each month over at Audiobook Empire I used to put up a post that would serve as a way to keep track of what I had been reading during that month as well as what books I may have purchased.

I am going to do the same thing here as well. Hopefully I can break out of my July reading slump.

JULY/2015 READING STATISTICS

All of these statistics come from the spreadsheet I use to keep track of my audiobook collection and my reading statistics. If you saw all of the different statistics I keep with this chart you would clearly see that I have a problem. These are the statistics that I feel best sum up how I’ve really done each month when it comes to reading.

Books Read

Minutes Read

Average number of days to finish a book

Average Rating per Book

4

2630

2.3

8.5

This chart shows the real depth of my reading slump. I read fewer books in July than any other month of the year, the next lowest month was February with 6 books read. It took on average 2.3 days to finish a book which is the second highest average this year behind February’s 3.2 days per book.
The average score of 8.5 means that while I didn’t read a lot in July, I liked every book I read. The 8.5 average rating is the highest of the year so far.

I encourage you to use the comments section of this post to let me know what you are reading or listening to this month. You can also post any interesting bargains or book related contests you find. I’m opening it up to all books not just audio!

Mark Deakins is indeed an amazing narrator and was honestly a big reason I decided to purchase the book. The other titles of his that I’ve heard were nonfiction so I’m looking forward to hearing him in a different genre.
